The director's authorial role in filmmaking - the extent to which a film reflects his or her individual style and creative vision - has been much debated among film critics and scholars for decades. Drawing on generations of criticism, this study describes how the designation "auteur" has gone from stylistic criterion to product label - in what has always been an essentially collaborative industry.
